The Book Room

The naming of this room came about when I was moving into the Haus. The guys moving my boxes and furniture, from the farm, started calling it "The Book Room".

After carrying more than 25 containers of books up 18 steps on my very long staircase, they just assumed the room was for books.










Even though the room will eventually be for sewing, a guest bedroom sofa, TV watching and my writing, it will also house all my books.

Two bookcases in upstairs hallway...two more to go!

This story actually begins with the gift of 4 bookcases, from my dear friends who lived across the road from me at the farm. The three of us, all too old for this project, carried the bookcases upstairs. I can tell you, after two of them, I was ready to quit.

The shelves filled up quickly. So, today I ordered two more from Ikea.

Nothing like spending a winter's evening, curled up on the sofa, with a HEA (Happy Ever After) book....

The room is far from completion....there are curtains to sew, more wall paneling to install, and of course, setting up my sewing area.

The reflection in the window pane is a lamp in "The Book Room"

This is the view from my writing desk.

      So very different from the farmhouse.....but, I'm beginning to appreciate the new life in Das Kleine Haus.
